I swear to y’all the best gift I’ve ever been given is my DSLR camera. It’s taught me so much about photography, it’s easy to use, and I don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars whenever I want frame worthy pictures. So if you need an idea to give to the hubby this is a great one! (Seriously!) And the cameras last forever if you protect them. I mean it’s always fun to upgrade, but quality photos have much more to do with how you take the photo rather than the camera. I took my kiddos holiday portraits yesterday afternoon, and they came out SO CUTE! I’m SO happy! Can’t share the card yet, because I’d like to keep that a surprise for those getting them as gifts and such, but here are some shots I nabbed.

I hope you enjoyed them as much as I do! The last one just describes our house perfectly right now, a little wild a crazy and far from perfect.

I LOVE Christmas. I LOVE everything about Christmas! I love Elf on the Shelf, I love visits with Santa, and I LOVE anything that gets that little glimmer a glowin’ in those little one’s eyes in those days leading up to Christmas. Last night I was browsing Pinterest and since I’ve already committed to a boring old store bought Advent Calendar this year, I thought I would get my fix by pulling together some of my FAVES for all of you!
